Installation

Install-Package tiny.Logger

.net core / .net 5/6/8/9 Sample

Example 1

public static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder(string[] args) =>
            Tiny.CreateDefaultBuilderAndTinyLogger(args).....

Example 2

public static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder(string[] args) =>
            Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
                .ConfigureTinyLogger().....

to add console logger please pass true use. this is very useful in systemd linux environments

public static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder(string[] args) =>
            Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
                .ConfigureTinyLogger(true).....

Customization from appsettings.json

      "Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime": "Trace"
    },
    "options": {
      "file": "MYLOG_$|DATE[dd_MMM_yyyy HH_mm]|$.log",  //<--- (1)
      "path":  "c:\\temp", //<--- (2)
      "size": 5242880 //<--- (3),
      "retention-duration": 30 // <--- (4)
    }

.Net Framework Setup.

namespace Sample
{
    using tiny;
    using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;

    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // first line of execution or before using logger....
            Extensions.ConfigureTinyLogger(@"c:\temp", MinLogLevel: LogLevel.Trace, ...);
            
            // Code to execute.
            
            var data = new Data() { Property1 = "Some value" };
            Extensions.LogInformation("First Log as information", data);
            
            // Code to execute.
            

Safe Executions

Example in .net core / .net 5

Use this option to wrap exuection with exception handling

       public int Sample1Sum(int i, int j)
       {
           int k = 0;
           _logger.ExecuteWithLog(() => { k = i + j; });
           return k;
       }

       public int Sample2Sum(int i, int j)
       {
           return _logger.ExecuteWithLog<int>(() => i + j);
       }

       public int Sample3Sum(int i, int j)
       {
           return _logger.ExecuteWithLog<int>(() => i/0 + j, defaultResult: 0);
       }

---

Example in .net framework

            Extensions.ILogger.ExecuteWithLog(() => 
            { 
                // code 
            });

ps: You can use Exception, for after execution deligates to perform operations based on your needs
